What is computer science

and artificial intelligence?

Computer science is the

study of computers and

computational systems.

In this case, we are particularizing it

in software and software systems.

Artificial intelligence is an area or

a branch of computer science that

tries to mimic our understanding

and the way in which we think as

humans—that’s why we’re always

adding the name “artificial.” It’s really

important the impact that artificial

intelligence and computer science

are having in the world because if

we see the recent stats, companies

are investing more than seven billion

dollars. It is something that is growing

exponentially. If we see the investment

we were doing last year compared to

this year, it has doubled the amount

of money companies are investing in

artificial intelligence.

How have computer science and

artificial intelligence grown over

the last few years?

The way in which artificial intelligence

and computer science have grown

over the last few years is something

that is changing the way in which we

understand the world and in which we

operate within the world. We could

talk about the sectors that have been

influenced or impacted by artificial

intelligence but I think that it is much

easier to say the sectors that have

not been yet impacted by artificial

intelligence. Every single sector has

artificial intelligence that is making our

lives as customers, as employees, or

simply as the head of a family, easier.

Let me give you an example. First,

the way you purchase things on the

Internet, the way our transactions are

balanced within a bank, or the way we

take our kids to school—all of them use

artificial intelligence in different ways

so that our lives become easier.

Why is the Bachelor in Computer

Science and Artificial Intelligence

unique?

This bachelor degree is different

for several reasons. First, it’s a

bachelor degree under the branch

of knowledge of engineering, giving

you a very robust base in order to

develop your knowledge in computer

science and artificial intelligence. In

terms of computer science, you will

learn everything about databases,

algorithms, human-computer

interaction, UX, UI, and the latest

in cutting-edge topics to do with

computer science. Second, it’s a

hands-on—really hands-on—bachelor’s

degree. You will not only learn the

theory; you will be applying it from

day one with real data sets, real

databases, developing algorithms

and applying them to real cases that

we will bring from the real world.

Third, you are going to have a holistic

view of artificial intelligence, and it’s

one-of-a-kind in the way in which

we are exploring and exposing our

students to artificial intelligence. You

will learn artificial intelligence from a

computer-science perspective; you

will learn artificial intelligence from an

integration perspective; and you will

learn artificial intelligence from the

perspective of ethical, political, and

economic development—in terms of

how it’s impacting the economy of

different worlds.

What resources do we offer to our

students in order to make their

experience more enriching?

There are three types of resources

that we are putting in place for

our students. First, we’re bringing

faculty from top-notch companies

that have been working in the area

of computer science and artificial

intelligence for the last few years.

Second, we’re mixing that faculty

with academic research, with people

who are researching the cutting-edge

of artificial intelligence. And third,

last but not least, we’re mixing the

infrastructure, the latest access to

cloud or infrastructure, with hands-on

projects in which we collaborate with

different companies across sectors.

Who is the ideal candidate for the

Bachelor in Computer Science and

Artificial Intelligence?

The ideal candidate for this program

would be one who is passionate about

technology. When I say passionate

about technology, I mean knowing the

technology that you are using, and

why it’s operating in this way. It’s not

just stopping at the front door of that

technology, it’s delving deeper in order

to understand why things work the

way they work. Of course, they will love

problem-solving, they will be creative,

and they will love to work on projects

and just face uncertainty in a way in

which they’re solving problems that

today have not been solved.

What kinds of career opportunities

are available to graduates?

Our graduates will have access to

technical careers at the beginning

and also to technology-management

careers. If I have to name three groups

of companies that will be interested in

our candidates, it would be top tech

companies (Google, Amazon, etc.),

consulting companies, and traditional

companies that are going through a

digital transformation and need these

digital skills. Within them, there can

be either the part that has to do with

the technological side of things—

developing, implementing, designing

algorithms, and software—and also

those that will be managing up to the

CTO or Chief Technology Officer within

a company, once they develop their

professional career.

“Every single sector has AI that is making our lives as customers, as employees, or

simply as the head of a family, easier”

How was the recruiting

process-steps, tests,

interviews?

I found the application

on the organization’s

website, sent out my

CV and cover letter,

and was contacted for an interview.

A few days later I heard back from

the interviewer who offered me the

position.

What are the most important things

you have learned in your work?

I have learned about the importance

of having a diverse team in terms

of gender, ethnicity and beliefs.

as an opportunity for learning. Meeting

people from different backgrounds

and cultures is very enriching. 

What do you like the most about the

company you work for and the sector?

The working environment is extremely

positive. Everyone is working there out

of goodwill and is willing to make a

meaningful impact in society. Everyone

is also very open to teaching. 

What tips or advice would you give to

other students applying for a job?

The best advice I can give is to be

patient and persistent. Even if it may

seem as if you will never get a job,

you will.

My Enrichment Opportunities

Your experience at IE University will involve a lot more than your

academic studies; we offer an exceptional range of opportunities

that allow you to tailor your studies to suit your specific career

goals and enhance your employability by obtaining extra

qualifications.

IE University takes an applied and student-centered approach to

education, identifying your unique strengths and giving you the

chance to build your own path.

In addition to the core degree, you will be able to personalize

your program and develop your skills by adding complementary

courses, advanced seminars, internships and IEU LABs.

(

From their first year, students form close ties with their classmates and with students from higher classes, who help and guide them throughout their journey.

Start-Up LabThe IEU Start-Up Lab is an incu-

bator where you can develop your

business plans and make them

investment-ready with guidance

from professors and entrepre-

neurs.

Marketing LabIn the Marketing Lab, you will be

involved in brand building, strategy

creation, and the implementation of

marketing plans. You will also work

on marketing research and consumer

insights for a range of companies and

institutions, as well as offer support to

new startups and entrepreneurs at IE

University.

IR LabThis lab is a fully tutored working

space where you can execute profes-

sional projects with an international

dimension for private companies,

public organizations, and nonprofits.

Our partner institutions work in differ-

ent industries and sectors: consultancy,

international development, public

affairs, diplomacy, etc.

Social Impact LabIn this lab, you can work with

nonprofit organizations and other

initiatives to manage social projects

in international settings. You will also

have the option to travel to developing

countries in order to participate in real

projects that have a visible, tangible

effect.

IEU LABs are IE University’s alternative to traditional

work placements. They provide hands-on, intern-

ship-like experience on campus to first- and second-year

students who wish to begin gaining professional experi-

ence. There are nine labs to choose from, and each allows

you to build your professional profile and gain valuable

practical knowledge of different sectors. You will also

extend your professional network through direct contact

with managers and directors of leading companies.

Throughout the program, you will

work under the tutorship of profes-

sors, while experts provide training

in areas like marketing, funding, and

strategy and legal aspects, among

others.

When the time comes to choose,

you will be able to apply to a lab that

matches your professional interests,

or try one outside of your field of study

in order to broaden your knowledge

and work with students from other

programs.

All labs start at the beginning of the ac-

ademic year and continue year-round.

In May and June, you will work full-

time in the IEU LABs and participate

in common modules and activities,

including advanced seminars for pro-

fessional skills, weekly presentations

of your work, business simulations,

and extracurricular activities.

“The IEU LABs give students a

genuine taste of work as members

of a consultancy team in the

sector of their choice, from design

to finance. Already, various labs

have had real-world successes,

providing solutions for clients

including Madrid’s Thyssen-

Bornemisza Museum and the

investment bank Arcano.”

Isabel Sánchez,

Director of IEU LABs and Business Administration Undergraduate Studies

Sample project:

PAELLA CHEF

Objective: specialize in the creation and distribution of canned paella in Spain and the rest of the world.

Best things about it: we got to start a company from scratch and be present at each step of the process, from the business plan to the corporate image. We knew that in June we were presenting to real investors, which was very motivating!

Most challenging aspect: customer ac-quisition. Even though we stated how we were planning on reaching out to customers—through paid research, organic research/SEO, PR, social media, inside sales, etc.—we ended up realizing that some of our assump-tions were wrong or too expensive, so we had to rethink our customer acquisition protocols.

Sample project:

PÉREZ-LLORCA

Objective: analyze a law firm’s website, compare it with the global market and come up with a proposal that will differen-tiate it from its competitors.

Best things about it: meeting with the client to obtain feedback and adapt our proposals to best meet their require-ments and needs. Knowing that they were going to implement our ideas was a huge motivation.

Most challenging aspect: finding the perfect balance between being creative and innovative while also staying loyal to the brand’s image and values.

Sample project:

WEBER SHANDWICK

Objective: analyze the political, social,

economic, and legal trends that Weber Shandwick’s multinational clients must be aware of while doing business in different countries, in order to propose an institutional relations and communication strategy.

Best things about it: the opportunity to work in multidisciplinary teams, guided by Weber Shandwick experts, and identify industry insights that allowed us to come up with accurate analyses and proposals.

Most challenging aspect: presenting results and strategy proposals to the clients that were worthy of Weber Shandwick’s reputa-tion and market standards.

Sample project:

FINANCIERS WITHOUT BORDERS NGOObjective: develop a microcredit project and a basic financial literacy course to improve the socioeconomic conditions of the Larbie community in Awutu, Ghana.

Best things about it: we got to travel to Ghana for research and data collection, which was a fantastic experience. All the information we obtained was used to provide financial and organizational rec-ommendations so that the institutions we were working with could achieve enough sustainability to become attractive to private investors.

Most challenging aspect: knowing that all of our decisions were going to affect real people.

local tourism authorities.

Finance LabIf you want to work in the world of

finance, this is the perfect place to get

your career started. This lab focuses

on analyzing financial markets and

consulting companies on a range of

financial issues.

Legal ClinicStudents offer legal advice for startups,

NGOs, nonprofits and institutions

in need of legal consulting services.

Several law firms also collaborate with

this lab for research and consultancy

to help their clients and firms.

Sports LabThis lab monitors and reports on

issues pertaining to sports players,

teams, and coaches, and produces

research and consultancy for Spanish

and European soccer clubs, Formula 1,

Communication LabThe Communication Lab works with

the widest range of companies, insti-

tutions, and startups with communi-

cation needs. You will be in charge of

creating content such as blogs, videos,

and other media content according to

the clients’ needs.

“Joining a lab is a fantastic

experience since you get to know

more about a topic that you are

not very familiar with; in my

case, finance. I’ve always been

interested in it and this was a first

step that somehow connected me

to the real world around it.”

Sample project:

FROM LIMIT TO LIVE IT

Objective: come up with a proposal for an international temporary art contest to decorate Segovia’s city wall. Establish the rules and create the graphic material to send out to participants.

Best things about it: it was a very creative project where all ideas were welcome. The contest had specific objectives, but we were encouraged to think freely and come up with innovative proposals in order to meet those goals.

Most challenging aspect: coming up with the evaluation criteria was one of the most challenging hurdles. We needed to make sure that each aspect evaluated would give real value to the contestant’s propos-als and at the same time make sure it was viable, innovative, etc.

Sample project:

ONE-TO-ONE CORPORATE FINANCE

Objective: analyze a company’s high-per-formance benefits, real estate transac-tions, and investments in private equity funds.

Best things about it: the fact that we got to evaluate a company’s real activity and value.

Most challenging aspect: being able to think long-term and come up with flexible solu-tions to problems which have yet to arise.

Sample project:

PRODIS

Objective: conduct a study among medi-um-sized enterprises in Madrid to ensure compliance with laws regarding the rights of disabled people.

Best things about it: we raised awareness about a topic that could make a huge difference in our society, particularly to those in poor health.

Most challenging aspect: finding out that a big percentage of the companies we interviewed are not aware of the law and the alternative measures to be implement-ed in hiring disabled people. That was quite discouraging.

Sample project:

ATLÉTICO DE MADRID

Objective: predict and evaluate players’ behavior.

Best things about it: we got to develop activities aimed at improving the lives of athletes and also demonstrate the value of sports to society.

Most challenging aspect: in order to be heard and get our ideas implemented, we needed to make sure that absolutely ev-erything in our proposal was well founded and based on empirical evidence.

Sample project:

VOICES OF THE ROYAL THEATER

Objective: execute a project to transform the opera into an accessible and trendy activity for young people.

Best things about it: we first had to immerse ourselves in the world of opera singers in order to understand their passion for the art!

Most challenging aspect: avoid making assumptions about why young people aren’t interested in opera. We needed to come up with effective ways to learn their reasons and motivations in order to create a campaign that would impact the target audience.

INTERNSHIPSDevelop a unique professional profile

—

McCann’s new offices in Madrid.

How was the recruiting

process—steps, tests, inter-

views?

I sent my CV, and a few

weeks later I received a call

from HR and was asked to

go to the offices to be inter-

viewed. Days later, I was interviewed by

the person who would end up being my

boss, and overall the whole process was

a very smooth one.

What types of projects did you work on?

I was an account executive trainee, so I

mainly coordinated and supervised some

of the campaigns that the agency was

working on for the client I was working

for (IKEA). By understanding the client’s

needs, I worked together with other Mc-

Cann creative staff members to produce

successful local and national campaigns.

What was the highlight of this

experience?

Discovering how the advertising and

communication world works, and learning

how to carry out an effective advertising

campaign in just a few months.

How do you think you benefited from

this experience?

I think I learned not only how the ad-

vertising industry works, but also how

important a company’s communication

strategy can be, and that successful

advertising campaigns take a long time

to come to life since many entities can be

involved in such processes.

What are your future career aspirations?

I hope to work in Marketing or General

Management for a company that can

shape or be relevant in people’s lives.

What tips or advice would you give

to other students applying for an

internship?

I’d tell them that the most important

thing they need to do is know what their

future career aspirations are and what

type of internship can help them be

better prepared to get where they want

to be in a few years. At the same time, I’d

encourage them to be persistent through

the whole process since sometimes it

can be hard to get the type of internship

you want when you have no previous

experience.

“I learned not only how the advertising industry

works, but also how important a company’s communication

strategy can be”

We understand that real-world professional experience

is fundamental within the field of computer science, and

for that reason the Bachelor in Computer Science and

Artificial Intelligence offers students the opportunity to

complete internships with organizations worldwide.

You will acquire more than a year’s worth of professional

experience, which is sure to help you stand out as you enter

the job market and begin to establish yourself as a valued

business professional.

Our students have completed internships at

Google, Amazon, Microsoft, McKinsey & Company,

J.P. Morgan, Accenture, Santander, BBVA, Holcim, Everis,

Essar, EY, KPMG, Bank of China and Telefonica, among

many other prestigious global companies.

Why did you choose this degree?

I chose to pursue a Bachelor in Behav-

ior and Social Sciences since I really

enjoy learning about how and why

people behave and how this is imple-

mented on a larger level than just clinical psychology. I

am particularly interested in learning how to work and

deal with people in organizations, while still learning

and cultivating other skills that will help me thrive in

the future when looking for jobs and trying to figure

out what I want to do professionally.

What do you like the most about living in Segovia?

This city is beautiful, small, and safe, yet there are

always interesting places to go and visit nearby. You

can walk outside at any point of the day or at night.

Normally, I walk 10 minutes to and from university

regardless of the time of the day. Although the city

may be small, everything you need is close by and is

no more than a 20-minute bus ride away.

What do you like most about studying at IE University?

The professors are all amazing. They all care about

their students and pay attention to those who are

striving to learn more and better themselves. The con-

tent learned in my classes is also very important, as all

of it seems to have a purpose and it doesn't feel like

we are just getting busy work. Furthermore, IE Univer-

sity offers many amazing opportunities in the form of

seminars, labs, internships, exchange programs, and

extracurricular activities.

Are you involved in any extracurricular activity?

I participate in both the Debate and Dance clubs.

Both of them are loads of fun and give me a well-de-

served break from studying and working on university

projects.

What are your favorite subjects and why?

So far, my favorite subjects have been Fundamentals

of Social Sciences and Fundamentals of Probability

and Statistics, even though both of these classes are

very different. The reason I like both so much is that

they are taught by great professors who are truly

passionate about what they teach and who care about

their students. Furthermore, the way in which the

teachers evaluate us in these classes is not by how

much we can memorize, but rather by how well we

can apply the concepts we learned in class to both

fictional and real-life situations. I know that in these

classes I can always go up to the teachers after class

and ask them more questions or for any advice and

they will gladly give it to me, as well as appreciate my

participation in class.

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF...

“The professors are all amazing”

Josefina Pérez

Bachelor in Behavior and Social Sciences

I wake up and carry out my morning routine.

It's important to have one if I want to be able to

focus for the rest of the day. 

I later head to class and make sure to arrive a

few minutes early to ask the teacher questions

about the homework and any upcoming

projects. I always try to stay active and attentive

during a lecture in order to take in all of the

content explained and participate in the

classroom discussion.

I normally go to the cafeteria and have

lunch and catch up with my friends.

Then, I head to the Student Hub and

work from there with a few classmates

on group projects. This is one of the best

places on campus since it is comfortable

for us to meet and work without many

distractions.

Once finishing work on a project or any

other tasks I may have, I normally go to

the supermarket to buy a few essentials

(and maybe something to treat myself)

and return home. At home, I do some

homework, review what was covered in

class that day, and prepare any work I

need to have ready for the following day.

At this time, I usually cook dinner, eat,

and relax a little. I also take time to talk

to my family to tell them about my day.

Usually at this point I either quickly finish

any work I have left or take a break and

procrastinate for a while before finally

going to bed.

What do you like

most about studying

at IE University?

What I like most about

studying at IE Univer-

sity is the people. All the students

come from different countries and

backgrounds, and there is an interna-

tional environment that allows us to

learn a lot from our classmates, and

build strong relationships.

Our opinion matters and they take

our ideas into account; everyone can

come up with a new project or idea,

which truly sets IE University apart

from other institutions. I feel like

students are trusted and are always

given the chance to develop their

initiatives.

When it comes to the academic as-

pect, I enjoy the innovative approach,

and the fact that our teachers are

professionals with extensive experi-

ence in their corresponding fields.

Are you involved in any extracurricu-

lar activities?

One of the things I like most about

studying at IE University is the wide

variety of extracurricular activities

we are offered. We receive monthly

newsletters with information on the

activities that will take place during

the month, and then it’s up to us to

decide which ones we want to take

part in.

I’ve attended several conferences, and

they are very interesting as they allow

us to figure out what we want to do

in the future. There are also competi-

tions which are very interesting. I par-

ticipated in the debate tournament

and it was awesome; it helped me

overcome my fear of public speaking,

and it definitely helped me develop

my debate skills! I also founded the

IE University Ski and Snowboard Club

with a friend, and we organized a trip

to Formigal with 50 other students,

which was amazing.

What are your favorite subjects

and why?

My favorite subjects during this year

were Introduction to Political Science

and Public International Law. The

first one gave me a framework in

politics, and I got a bird’s-eye view

of how politics work and influence

the modern world. We also

had the chance to do many

interesting debates, learning

from our teachers and class-

mates.

In the second semester we

had several subjects on law,

and I loved the way they

were taught. As we studied

Comparative Law, we didn’t

have to memorize laws and

books, even though many

people think that is the only

way of studying this degree.

We compared the different

law systems, thereby learn-

ing how to draw our own

conclusions, interpret texts,

and develop different ways

of thinking about the law,

which was very interesting.

Public International Law was my fa-

vorite subject this semester, not only

because everything we learned was

useful, but also because I thought it

was especially interesting for those of

us doing the Dual Degree in Law and

International Relations. We analyzed

several real cases where international

law had been applied. Monitoring

the proceedings and how they were

resolved helped us understand inter-

national law better and realize how

complex and fascinating it is.

In general, I liked all the subjects and

I honestly think that law and interna-

tional relations are two degrees that

go hand in hand, and that they are

relevant in many of the current global

crises.

Why did you take the

initiative to go abroad?

I wanted to go on

exchange because

I’ve always been

really curious about

discovering new cultures and

countries. In my case, Singapore

was the perfect destination since

I had been to North and Latin

America, as well as many countries

in Europe and in North Africa but

South-East Asia was totally new to

me. I figured that being part of a

new experience in a region of the

world I didn’t know would be really

exciting and make me grow as a

person and gain knowledge.

What are the biggest advantages

of living abroad?

The biggest advantages of living

abroad I would say are to develop

your independence, forge your

personality and meet different

people that will challenge your

ideas and reality. Also, depending

on where you go, the ability to

travel for cheap and discover

new countries can be a strong

advantage.

Why did you choose the National

University of Singapore?

I initially picked the National

University of Singapore because

of its very good ranking and the

courses that were offered there.

However, the university turned

out to be much more than what

I had imagined. I had the chance

to enjoy many infrastructures

and clubs at students’ disposal

and I met amazing people and

classmates that were all passionate

and hard working people. From

the infinity pool to the hip hop

dance club or even cooking nights

I could relax between classes and

enjoy my time with friends.

What would you recommend to

future exchange students?

I would tell them to go for it,

take their chance and just follow

their guts. If you really feel like

going on exchange to a country,

as far or different it could be,

do it. Do it because those kinds

of experiences are the ones

that make you who you are.

Do it because it will bring you

knowledge and values that will

make you unique. In short, your

exchange semester is for sure

going to impact your life and

future, so just enjoy it fully (you’ll

have time to worry again when

you come back!).

SEGOVIA

The campus in the city of Segovia

offers a true campus experience. It is

housed in the Convent of Santa Cruz

la Real, a historic building declared a

national heritage site in 1931. Segovia

is only 25 minutes from Madrid by

high-speed train, and welcomes

students from over 130 countries to

a global university setting with an

academic and lively atmosphere.

In Segovia, youʼll find the perfect

setting to become part of a close-knit

community.

Segovia is a fairytale city full of narrow,

twisting alleyways, Romanesque

churches, and beautiful buildings.

Additionally, this province of Spain has

always been famous for its climate and

traditional cuisine. Itʼs not merely a

city to be admired from afar; itʼs also a

great place to live.

If you decide to study in Segovia, with

the big city always within reach and

history at your fingertips, you will

experience the best of both worlds.

MADRID

On our campus in Madrid, you will

find a groundbreaking education

experience, with access to cutting-edge

resources, specialized classrooms, and

modern facilities. Studying in Madrid

provides an opportunity to immerse

yourself in a dynamic environment

at the center of one of Europeʼs most

important financial capitals.

If you decide to study in Madrid,

School.

STUDENT LIFEConnections and activities

“I’ve been living in Segovia

for nearly two years and had

no idea about its beautiful

surroundings. Hiking by the

river on Sunday was a nice

alternative to spending the

weekend in the city of Segovia

or Madrid. For those who

did not go with us, I highly

recommend attending the

next Green Club event!”

Ola,

IEU Green Club

“The IEU Alpine Club is your

destination for any and all

outdoor activities, bringing

like-minded people together

to enjoy the beauty of nature

in a fun way.”

to take a radically new

approach to academic

talks.”

Salvador Mompeán,

IEU Conference Club Foundervariety of sports for students to enjoy.

pus to campus, since Madrid is a city

campus and Segovia is a rural one.

with several gyms and fitness centers,

and many others.

Tryouts for IE University’s official

teams take place once every year, at the

beginning of the fall semester.

The Student Life office coordinates

more than 30 clubs, which are divided

into six areas: arts, sports, social

causes, debates, entrepreneurship, and

academics.

Below are some the clubs you can take

part in.

IEU CONFERENCE CLUB

The IEU Conference Club organizes

talks and cocktails where some of the

most powerful and influential people

in the international arena answer

questions related to their field of

expertise. You’ll get to know some of

the secrets of their professional success,

network with them, and have your

questions answered!

IEU GREEN CLUB

This club reaches out to the student

community to raise awareness about

environmental stewardship matters

and healthy lifestyles. They organize

riverside hikes and other nature

activities. If you like to escape from

your routine and enjoy outdoor

activities, this is the club for you!

ADMISSION PROCESSBecome part of IE University

At IE University, thereʼs no single deadline for applying

to our undergraduate programs. The various stages of our

admission process are aimed at identifying those areas

of your academic and personal profile that make you

unique, and to make sure that our educational model is

a good fit for you.

As our programs usually fill up far in

advance of the start of the academic

year, we advise candidates to apply

between twelve to nine months before

the semester begins. This will also

allow you time to obtain any necessary

visas or other qualifications. Once you

have received an acceptance letter,

provisional or definitive, you must

make a €2,000 non-refundable deposit

to reserve your spot in the bachelorʼs

program of your choice.

ONLINE APPLICATIONThe application form contains detailed step-by-step information on how to fill it in, guiding you through the process. Your applica-tion is subject to a non-refundable admission fee of €120. It will not be reviewed by the Admissions Committee until submitted and the admission fee has been paid. You can find information on how to pay this fee at the end of the application form. The application may be saved at any time during the process but it must be com-pleted within one month.

ADMISSION TESTTake IE University’s admission test or international admission tests: the SAT, ACT, CAS, or LNAT. IE University’s admission test is conducted solely in English and assesses your verbal, logical and numerical skills. It centers on your ability to reason, rather than knowledge of actual information. This means you don't have to study for the test beforehand to pass it successfully. It also evalu-ates your English level. You can do the admission test either at the campus in Madrid or Segovia, or at any of the 29 offices IE has around the world. For other cases, please contact our Admissions Department at: ieuadmissions@ie.edu

ONLINE ASSESSMENTAs a tech-forward institution, we use virtual assessment as part of our admissions process. This allows the admissions team to get a sense of your personality and potential before proceeding to a possible interview.

Completing the assessment is simple—you will be given 3 ques-

tions to answer in a set amount of time. One of your responses will be written, and two will be record-ed via video. The whole process should only take 20 to 30 minutes to complete.

PERSONAL INTERVIEW (only after committee review)

Personal interviews are held either at the IE University campus in Segovia or Madrid, or at any of our 29 international offices. In extenuating circumstances we can arrange an online interview.The interview will allow us to get to know you better, and further assess certain qualities, such as your personality, capacity for critical thinking, method of self expression and other communica-tion skills.

FINAL COMMITTEE DECISIONYou will be informed of the Ad-missions Committee’s decision in writing. If accepted, you will receive one of two admission statuses:

Conditional Admission: in the event that you have failed to comply with all university access requirements in Spain.

Definitive admission: full admis-sion, providing you have complied with all the points listed in the provisional letter of acceptance.
